[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] The play Oktapbang Goyangi (Rooftop Cat) has been a top sensation since its premiere in early 2010, selling out all seats. It won the Korea National Assembly Award in 2010. Since then, it has become the fastest creative play to surpass 7,000 performances, attracted over 20,000 repeat viewers, received an audience rating of 9.5, and ranked first in annual theater ticket sales from 2012 to 2020, earning the honor of being number one for nine consecutive years as a representative masterpiece of Korea, highly regarded by audiences.

Oktapbang Goyangi is based on a novel of the same name and tells the story of cohabitation that begins with the special meeting of Kyung-min, who dreams of becoming an architect, and Jung-eun, who aspires to be a drama writer. It expresses the honest and free-spirited younger generation while also reflecting the parental generation, making it a romantic comedy that all generations can laugh and empathize with together.
